  6. And if you want to support a small show, started purely as a result of me and three friends wanting to do something to support countryside activities after the Hunting Ban, come to Woodham Ferrers & Bicknacre (Essex) on the 17th July! All proceeds to charity.

    Sorry to use this as a plug for our show, but I have to agree - £40+ for a family just to walk through the gate is ridiculous - especially as if you've been to one, you've been to them all! The small ones, wherever they are in the country, are always, in my (fairly limited) experience, the best!

    Cheers

  7. Hi,

    Thanks for your reply and yes the ring was way to small, the show committe would only allow us the use of the ring that was used for the companion dog show in the afternoon and it was to small even for that.

    You should come to the Llansadwrn Country Fair in June, much bigger rings and it's a good fun day. Thanks for your kind words and hope to see you next year

     

    Hi - can't praise it enough... On the ring front - a small ring doesn't really prevent the judge from picking the best dog - and I know the Champions were fantastic dogs, (esp terrier champ who I've seen before - and I believe retained his title this year?...) so in the scheme of things it probably made no difference to the outcome... just a minute detail. I guess the fact that you've had no other feedback on this post means that you're doing a great job!

    Sincerely hoping to come again next year..., guess I'll have to ask my welsh friends to put me up in June and August!

  8. Llansadwrn terrier & Lurcher show Carmarthenshire SA19 8HH Thursday 20th August.

    Classes start 5.00. It could be one of your last chances to qualify for Chatsworth and The Welsh Valleys and The Pride of the Peaks. All usual classes followed by racing great prizes. Bar and B-B-Q.

    Just a fun night out please try to come along.

     

    Also has any of you been to ony of our shows? I would like to know your opinion be it good or bad

    it will help to improve the shows. look forward to seeing you Thursday and reading your replies

     

    Hi yes, I've been to your show before - last year infact and sadly, couldn't make it this year. If you want constructive criticism on last year, then here goes...

    Thought it was GREAT! It was one of the most memorable shows I have ever been to (except our own of course!)

    Although it was muddy, there was a fantastic community spirit with the tractors on hand to pull everyone out! I wish we could have a show like that round our way with not only the dogs, but the craft too.... stick making classes and the best bale of hay etc etc. Sure you get those kind of classes at the big country shows, but Llansadwrn is a little village in deepest darkest Wales and to produce animals and craft of the standard presented was amazing.

     

    The only negative criticism I have (and bear in mind this is last year) was the size of the rings and the length of the grass... Perhaps not alot you could have done about that though given the wet conditions.

     

    Oh, the lamb burgers and tea cakes were first class too and the judges were incredibly helpful. I asked for constructive criticism on my dogs and got it. The terrier judge in particular was fabulous, very kind and helpful. All judges should be willing and able to give tips and advice (after the class of course!). That's just my opinion though!

     

    I was delighted too to receive a schedule for this year's show - a good policy. Please send me one next year. I have already asked my welsh friends to arrange that we visit them during the week when your show is on.

    All in all, just keep doing what you're doing. I heard this year was fantastic too, so you're not doing much wrong!

    Well done!

  9. my new pup has her tail docked and i have the certificate sayin its been done propely but i read she wont be aloud to be shown or is this only for kc shows

    I agree with Donnyc - in England as long as there's no entrance fee, you can show a docked dog. However, if you don't have the correct paperwork (unlike you) and a member of the public makes a complaint to the authorities, the police have a duty to investigate whether a crime has been committed. I think the police probably have better things to do with their time, but there we are!

  10. Terrier, Lurcher (N.L.& R.C. Qualifier) and Family Dog Show at Heath Farm, North Elmham (between Dereham & Fakenham). Trophies, rosettes to 4th place and prizes. All welcome, ample parking. Enquiries to Nicky Hassall 07789 780022.

    Please excuse my ignorance because I'm not from the area, but what does "WNF" stand for - I get the "HSC" bit!

     

    Also, do you have a post code for the venue? And what time judging start? I would phone, but I've got no credit at the moment!

    Cheers

  11. Got some more general photos - Chaz took some great shots. If anyone wants any, let me know and I'll put you in touch with Chaz.

    Hi Aces - thanks for a good time. We'd never been before as you know, so we thought we'd give it a go. The dogs absolutely loved it, although on one of his runs (the 13.44 one) Chalky got a bit distracted by some nice smelling rabbit poo just as I let him go by the start line! I'm sure he'd have beaten Lardy's time if he'd have not got distracted..., Lee was at the other end and he said that he (Chalky) won the second of his group races - and boy those borders are rapid! Unfortunately we got a call and had to leave before the long jump, but we'll definitely come again to give that a go and do the racing.

     

    We done to the ACES team. For anyone who hasn't been before, they're well organised and welcoming and it's fun for the dogs and the kids loved watching it too! Definitely worth popping along to the next one for anyone who hasn't been before! Excellent burgers too - kids loved them!
